Hey Everyone….Well since my car accident last Friday I have not been doing all that much especially cooking it’s all been about easy meals lately. So today I was craving something, but I couldn’t figure out what it was that I was craving. I was looking through my fridge (which is pretty empty also because I have not been grocery shopping in over a week) I came across some Ezekial Tortillas and avocados and then thought to my self hmmmm I could make some crispy and crunchy baked chips and homemade guacamole. This is one of my absolute favorite healthy snacks. Avocados are full of protein, good fats and full of vitamins and minerals that help protect against heart disease. You can use avocados for a number of things such as replacing mayo on a sandwich with some avocado, make a raw chocolate pie or a face mask. The possibilities are endless, isn’t nature FANTASTIC!!

Today we are making some yummy guacamole and my version of this desired and popular snack will be without all the processed junk and oils that you would normally buy at the grocery store. ENJOY!!!!

Sprouted Ezekial Chips with Homemade Guacamole

I started with Ezekiel Sprouted Tortillas, I have been looking into getting a food dehydrator so I can make Raw Sprouted Chips but this is what I had on hand and they are really Yummy!! They have a nice nutty flavor that pairs nicely with other dips such as hummus or salsa. I also love making tacos with these tortillas they have such a great texture and flavor.

Next I made a mixture to give the chips some nice flavor and that crunch that we are looking for in a chip. I used 2 TBS Organic extra virgin olive oil, Himalayan sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, a little bit of garlic powder and Red Pepper Flakes for some heat.

I brushed both sides of the tortillas with the olive oil mixture, cut them into quarters and placed them on a baking sheet. I used six tortillas making a total of 24 chips.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Make sure to flip the tortillas half way through so you can ensure that both sides are crispy. You will begin to smell when they are about done so don’t start a big project while you are waiting for these little babies or they will burn, and we don’t want that when we are hungry!!!

VOILA!!! Sprouted Tortilla Chips, wasn’t that so easy!! Great nutty flavor and they hold up nicely to thicker dips. I encourage you to try these chips at your next party or event. It’s never to late to introduce people to healthier options of snacks that usually are not so healthy.

The guacamole that I make at home is even easier than the chips and is so good for you. I see alot of recipes that add mayo, cottage cheese, sour cream, WHY? Well, you will not find any of that here just fresh, raw ingredients. Here’s how to prepare it.

1-2 Ripe Avocados

1 Quarter of a purple onion and jalapeno diced very fine

1 Small Tomato seeded (or it will turn to soup)

1 TBS Fresh Cilantro

Fresh Garlic to taste

Himalayan sea salt and Cracked black pepper to tase

Squeeze of Fresh Lime Juice.

Cut the Avocados in half. Take out the pit. Scoop out the yummy buttery goodness into a bowl. Dice and cut the pepper, onion, garlic and cilantro. Add the remaining ingredients to the avocado and mix together and now you have a beautiful bowl of fresh and delicious guacamole.
